Buying Gaskets Verses Making Gaskets

If a guy was making his own gaskets, How thick of one would u have to make for the hydraulic pump (between Hyd. pump and transmission housing) .. I live in an area that is really hard to actually go and pic up parts ,,, so sometimes its nice to be able to make your own. Also the one that it is between the carb . and manifold ..

Also do u guys recommend any kind of alternative ...like silicone etc?

I have done mechanic work for years. Will not use paste in a tube at all. None of it. Seen to much of that stuff fail and had to be re-done right. Making your own gasket is fine, but don't do that much because there is the matter of having the right material. Then your back in the boat of going to the store. Might as well just buy the right gasket. Pretty much only make gaskets that you can no longer buy.

didnt know about the preasure on that bolt hole in the fergie (another guy mentioned that to) nice to know , Hydraulic oil is not cheap. Appreciate the comment.I think a guy could get addicted to playing with these ..(down side is it can get costly)

lots of those old tractors around my area , I think a guy could buy a lot of them cheap ..(500.00 to 1000.00) .

Now I need a garage , nice to be able to work in the winter and get away from the other half.

napa and most auto parts stores sell gasket material. napa also has packaged assortments of various materials and thicknesses. just match it up and cut the one out you need. a gasket hole punch set and an exacto razor knife work well.
